STRING DATA TYPE

STRING DATA TYPE

 The string data type is a fundamental data type in computer programming that represents a sequence of characters. In most programming languages, strings are used to store and manipulate textual data, such as names, addresses, sentences, or any other combination of characters.

Strings are typically enclosed in quotation marks, either single ('') or double (""). Here are some examples of string literals:

EXAMPLE:

name = "John Doe" address = '123 Main Street' sentence = "Hello, world!"

Strings can be manipulated and processed in various ways. Here are some common operations performed on strings:

  • Concatenation
Strings can be concatenated (joined together) using the concatenation operator (+) to create a new string. Here's an example:
CODE:

first_name = "John" last_name = "Doe" full_name = first_name + " " + last_name print(full_name)

Output:

"John Doe"


  • Length:
The length of a string, i.e., the number of characters it contains, can be obtained using the len() function. Example:

CODE:

message = "Hello, world!" length = len(message) print(length)

Output:

13


  • Indexing and Slicing
Strings can be accessed and manipulated on a character-by-character basis using indexing and slicing. Indexing starts at 0, where the first character has an index of 0, the second character has an index of 1, and so on. Slicing allows you to extract a portion (substring) of a string. Examples:

CODE:

message = "Hello, world!"
print(message[0])
Output: "H" (first character)
print(message[7])
Output: "w" (eighth character)
print(message[0:5])
Output: "Hello" (substring from index 0 to 4)
print(message[7:])
Output: "world!" (substring from index 7 to the end)
print(message[:5])
Output: "Hello" (substring from the beginning to index 4)

  • String Methods
Programming languages provide various built-in methods/functions to manipulate and process strings. These methods allow you to perform tasks like searching for substrings, replacing characters, converting case, splitting strings, and more. Here's an example:

CODE:

message = "Hello, world!"

print(message.upper())     
   Output: "HELLO, WORLD!"

print(message.find("world"))
    Output: 7 (index of the substring "world")

print(message.replace("Hello", "Hi")) 
  Output: "Hi, world!"

are just a few examples of the operations that can be performed on strings. The specific syntax and available string methods may vary depending on the programming language you are using, but the concept of manipulating and working with textual data remains consistent across languages.

COMPARISION EXPRESSION

COMPARISION EXPRESSION    In Python, comparison expressions are used to compare values and return a Boolean result (True or False) based on the comparison. Here are the commonly used comparison operators in Python: Equal to (==): Checks if two values are equal. Example: 5 == 5 evaluates to True . Not equal to (!=) : Checks if two values are not equal. Example: 5 != 3 evaluates to True. Greater than (>) : Checks if the left operand is greater than the right operand. Example: 5 > 3 evaluates to True. Less than (<): Checks if the left operand is less than the right operand. Example: 3 < 5 evaluates to True. Greater than or equal to (>=) : Checks if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand. Example: 5 >= 5 evaluates to True. Less than or equal to (<=) : Checks if the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand. Example: 3 <= 5 evaluates to True. These comparison operators can be used with various data types,...

LOGICAL EXPRESSION

LOGICAL EXPRESSION    In Python, logical expressions are used to evaluate the truthiness or falsiness of a combination of conditions. Logical expressions involve the use of logical operators, such as "and", "or", and "not". These operators allow you to combine multiple conditions and evaluate them as a single Boolean result. Here are the logical operators in Python: Logical AND (and): Returns True if both conditions on the left and right are True. Example: x > 5 and y < 10 evaluates to True if x is greater than 5 and y is less than 10. Logical OR (or) : Returns True if at least one of the conditions on the left or right is True. Example: x > 5 or y < 10 evaluates to True if either x is greater than 5 or y is less than 10. Logical NOT (not): Reverses the truthiness of a single condition. If the condition is True, it returns False, and vice versa. Example: not x > 5 evaluates to True if x is not greater than 5. Here's an example ...
